Description:This essay is the introduction to ALLAN QUATERMAIN AT THE DAWN OF TIME by Thos. Kent Miller, which is available at the LULU.com bookstore and AMAZON.com and from other book dealers. There are sides to H. Rider Haggard that aren’t generally recognized but are manifestly interesting for those who look beyond his reputation as an adventure writer. Thos. Kent Miller explores three such sides, namely that he had a “secret love” who, for good or ill, fueled nearly all of his fiction; that he had a very real mystical side, an intense current, that drew from fatalism and the occult in equal measure; and among his most vital characters there is one, a little Hottentot, who is universally and unfairly overlooked, yet who, symbolized for Haggard all that was good and noble in humankind. It is always tempting to describe H. Rider Haggard in a nutshell. Mike Ashley is straight forward in his assessment of Haggard, saying that he was “one of the greatest adventure writers who ever lived.” Lin Carter says Haggard was the “unchallenged master of the adventure romance.” And Otto Penzler sums up the matter with “The name of no writer is more closely or affectionately connected to adventure fiction that that of Sir Henry Rider Haggard.” Doubtless, it is these kinds of pronouncements that casual readers usually take away from their first encounters with Haggard, which are more often than not King Solomon’s Mines and/or She. Nevertheless, Haggard readers may not see or be in the least aware that there is much more driving his fiction than adventure for adventure’s sake. At the root of Haggard and his fiction is a more or less consistent cosmic view that permeates all his writing.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
